Strength
I'm beginning to struggle
Struggle to stand on my own two feet
Feet in my shoes to get through another day
Day that is numbered
Numbered minutes, numbered seconds
Seconds that can mean life or death
Death is only natural
Natural cycle that can't be much harm
Harm to me in a lot of ways
Ways that really shouldn't be possible
Possible to be standing after so long
Long after my mind has gone to sleep
Sleep that extra hour to keep your strength
Strength that you don't really have
Have I lost my shred of sanity?
Sanity that slowly drip, drips away
Away with the thoughts that are as black as night
Night, my least favorite time
Time that I don't actually spend sleeping as I should
Should I?
I don't see the point
Point me in the right direction if you can
Can you help me?
Me, what do you mean
Mean something to someone
Someone I trust
Trust is fragile
Fragile like glass
Glass that could break in any moment
Moment that could change your outlook on life
Life isn't so simple
Simple to do something without a second thought
Thoughts that wear you down
Down can have two meanings
Meanings that can be good or bad
Bad for me, completely
Completely insane
Insane to even think of, let alone do
Do your best
Best believe when I say normal
Normal-undefined
Undefined means unwritten
Change unwritten to rewritten
